I'm providing two sizes of screenshots on screenshots.debian.net: - up to 160x120 (keeping aspect) - up to 800x600 (keeping aspect) These two sizes are pre-rendered at the moment someone uploads a new screenshot. Creating further sizes like <=320x240 would not easily be possible as I had to write a batch to resize them and write additional code to display them. I don't believe it's worth it. Creating resized images dynamically would even kill the server. I know that because I have tried it. >> If they were twice as big, they would probably >> still fit into the free space and be useful. For most packages on screenshots.debian.net the sizes are appropriate. After all they are GUI applications or games that give you a pretty good idea of what they deal with. I understand that it's less useful in scientific applications that show a lot of details in a large window. But you get the full-sized screenshot by hovering your mouse so that shouldn't be a big deal. Perhaps I should offer a paid version with screenshots of sizes >800x600 and place spam ads on the free version. :) Cheers Christoph P.S.: I'm not subscribed.
